Pictures of Andy Flower
Profile:A wicket-keeper batsman of high class, a sound 'keeper, and fluent stroke maker who can dominate the best bowling. His left-hand batting is based on a solid technique, and he employs a wide range of shots, improvising to great effect in one-day games. He drives anything pitched up, can cut and hook, and is strong off his legs. Although he is a capable wicket-keeper and it enables the national side to play him as a virtual all rounder, his keeping has never quite reached the same high standard as his batting. His first century in the national side came on his official one day international debut, against Sri Lanka in the first World Cup match of 1992. When he was appointed captain and forced to take on a triple role, he found after two years the burden too heavy to bear, and relinquished the captaincy. One of his best innings, instrumental in bringing Zimbabwe their first Test victory (under his captaincy), was a magnificent 156 against Pakistan in 1994-95. He took up the captaincy again in a caretaker role after Alistair Campbell's resignation in November 1999 (John Ward and DL, 1999).
